[GMRS-50X1 Features Review]

Mr. Spaz,

 I went ahead and purchased the 50x1 mainly because of the ctcss scanning ability but I am not able to get it to scan. I reread your post and looked at Miklors site prior to writing this to see if there is any kind of instruction but I haven't found anything. I tried researching BTECH 50x2 radio since they are similar but was unsuccessful at finding an answer or video tutorial.

 Supposedly when it scans a "ct"  will appear on the screen but have not been able to make it happen. Hope I made sense.

 Thanks for your time.

 Chris

 

If it's like the UV-50X2 - It also won't scan if it is not actively receiving a signal - make sure it is receiving a signal; and first "enable" the tone mode like marcspaz said (such as set the tone to 67.0 then hit scan once the tone mode was enabled)

[Same radio, different company.]

Luiton is not an owner of any Chinese manufacturer - they are a distributor (like radioddity and retevis)

 

"Bond is a wholesale provider of many quality Bluetooth products such as adapters, speakers, headsets, gadgets, watches and more.

Located in China, if you purchase from us, we offer many additional convenient services, all of which cannot be easily provided by other Walkie talkie product suppliers." - from the main page of their site

 

Luiton (bond telecom on Amazon) is simply a relabeler - much like Retevis relabels - and radioddity relabel; Chinese manufacturer's sell to wholesalers. They do not operate a direct storefront, but will sell to anyone in multiple units. Wholesalers will sell one radio at a time - and sell on Amazon/fleabay/etc

 

Actual manufacturers are Baofeng/Anytone/TYT/VGC/etc

If you are within warranty and it is a hardware failure - BTECH would repair the radio for free: https://baofengtech.com/product-repair

 

If you haven't tried I would contact BTECH first 

[Repeater Capable Handheld.]

Besides being repeater capable - make sure the radio is also defaulted or able to do wideband. Some Part 95 brands do not do wideband
